Capo 2 

Intro: D Bm D  

   D                  Bm      D 
My daddy used to sing 'bout a preacher man 
    G                      D 
Who lost his wife, she was his whole life 
                                         Bm       D 
He kissed me then he took me in with his old gui- tar 
          G                       D 
Man, that second verse, I hung on every word 

  A                                 Em         G           A 
I drift off and get lost in between the melody and a dream 


[Refrão]
               D      Em   G 
And he'd sing, please come back to me 
            D                             A 
We're gonna build this spring and start a family 
D      Em   G                D                  A 
Please just one more day, so much to say, don't leave this way 
Em                           Bm         G    A             D 
Lives on in my fondest memo- ries, he'd sing and I'd sleep 

        D 
Well, I grew up like a weed through my teenage years 
    G                               D 
Oh, daddy tried but I'd barely even say goodnight 
I'm sure he thought my mind was on girls and school 
               G                  D 
But I was just way to cool to say I love you 

Pre-Chorus 
       A                                Em            G 
But he didn't know that when I close my eyes and turn out the lights 


[Refrão]
               D      Em   G 
That I'd hear, please come back to me 
            D                             A 
We're gonna build this spring and start a family 
D      Em   G                D                  A 
Please just one more day, so much to say, don't leave this way 
Em                           Bm         G    A             D Em F#m 
Lives on in my fondest memo- ries, he'd sing and I'd sleep 

          G 
And after all those nights and all these years 
                                 D               Em F#m 
Here we are and here he is taken his last breath 
G 
And I'm man enough to cry, he's to young to say goodbye 
     D                          A 
He's all but left, and man, I'm scared to death 


[Refrão]
D      Em   G                 D                        A 
Please come back to me, right now I need you more than anythin' 
D      Em F#m  G                D                     A 
Please just one more day, so much to say, wish you could stay 
       Em                                    Bm 
And he squeezed my hand and kissed me on the cheek 
             G    A              D 
And said you sing and I'll sleep
